What dypsis ?

[redant]

Got 2 of these, they have a heal, guessing Dypsis. Growing great in pots but every single healed Dypsis I put in the ground croaks. So any guesses, anyone have much with these in the ground in FL.  Sorry about the orientation, palm talk hates me lol. If I rotate them ahead to undo this then it doesn't do it, really annoying.

Most of the people in Florida that listened to my suggestion to "mound plant" have had success. Mainly as I found most heeled Dypsis are VERY slow to develop roots AND they like to tiller down further before starting to grow "up". Due to massive amounts of rain, the roots really struggle to get established and rot. Plant on a hill, they can get to wetter soil if they need it, but don't "sit" in it. Compounded if the palm tillers into the ground deeper.
In pots, the drainage is fantastic of course.

Looks great, good luck.

Found prestoniana in my order list, seems you got it right. Now if I can get them to grow in the ground lol.

Beautifully grown @redant. Here is a D. Prestoniana I planted from a 3 gallon about 3 years ago. I am on the barrier island in south central Brevard county. From what I have seen and read, this Dypsis does well here. Definitely not a speed demon though.

My (Dypsis) Chrysalidocarpus prestoniana have been trouble-free.  It got a bit dry for them this year and the tree crew was a bit ambitious with the trimming when they were concerned about a major hurricane, so a little bit of sun and drought damage in the photo.  Just going off what I know about my garden vs. yours I'd say the difference is the soil regime.

Mine in Phoenix made it our hellish summer is a good grower that’s what I like because they recover fast from any damage!!

My big boy here in the so cal desert gave it more shade as a youngster lived in and out of my covered patio . Last 2 years gave it more sun   . Did fine over the years . Went in The ground this year . One of the easiest dypsis to grow in my opinion . I have 1 other half the size of this one In the ground and 2 more in pots that are getting some size . 

[JubaeaMan138]

Here is number 2 in the ground . This one has been in the ground for longer . I bought this from mb palms years ago on eBay as a tiny 1 gallon . Been solid grower as well looks like a completely different plant than my other though. It’s about 6 foot tall overall
